How close are we to seeing a global plastics treaty?

Last week countries gathered for the second Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee meeting to bring them a step closer to signing a legally-binding agreement to end plastic pollution.

Professor Steve Fletcher and Antaya March from the University of Portsmouth’s Global Plastics Policy Centre were at INC-2 in Paris, presenting the centre’s findings and research.

Today’s Life Solved episode will unpack what was agreed, look at the roadmap ahead, and give an insight into the upcoming PlasticsFuture 2023 conference.
